Experience What the Ford Explorer Has to Offer
First introduced for the 1991 model year, the Ford Explorer has been earning fans and building an incredible reputation for well over 30 years. During the 1990s, a change began in the auto industry as more drivers showed an interest in SUVs but wanted something that was nicer on the road than a lot of early models, which were often designed with off-road ruggedness in mind.
The Explorer was developed to meet this demand, with a smaller design that handled beautifully in all kinds of conditions, and it was welcomed as a fantastic daily driver and family vehicle with lots of room inside. In fact, both two-door and four-door models were initially offered, providing compact and midsize options.
Ford Explorer Generations: A Legacy of Improvements
Since its introduction, the Ford Explorer has been through numerous generations and updates, changing frequently from year to year to offer more for drivers. A second generation followed for the 1995 model year, showcasing a variety of updates and improvements. Then a third-generation Explorer launched with the 2002 model year and saw the elimination of the two-door compact model, becoming a midsize SUV exclusively.
Perhaps more importantly, the redesign for the third generation added an available third row of seating in the Explorer, which is perfect for large families. During these years, second-row bucket seats also became available, reducing passenger capacity but keeping folks in the second row more comfortable.
The Explorer has seen more updates since then, including a fourth generation for the 2006 model, a fifth generation for 2011, and the launch of a sixth-generation Explorer with the 2020 model year. Although it has evolved significantly since it first hit the road, the modern Ford Explorer remains a stunning example of how well an SUV can serve as your daily driver.
